Where can I find British Standards ( for boiler flue instalation )

[Mike Jackson]

just playing devil's advocate here........

What did the standards say at the time the boiler was installed?

Probably the same as in the instructions that I linked to.

Ah! Yeah!

I refuse to play devil's advocate while being in full possession of the facts.........

werent they dated 2001 and it went in 17 years ago, so instructions could be changed fm origional manuals

It was never allowed to be installed like that.

This is what it says in the BS

Where two or more vertical fanned draught chimney configurations
terminate in close proximity at the same height, they shall be separated
by at least 300 mm. Where any one vertical outlet is more than 300 mm
above the other, then they shall be separated by at least 1 500 mm.

Where any vertical fanned draught chimney configuration outlets is
within 2 000 mm measured horizontally of an opening window, then it
shall be at least 300 mm above the opening.

Nicko, Vaillant say this with regards to flue positioning (Page 14 of the boiler mi's)

So now my question is how it was passing gas inspections?for around 15 years!!!!! Or more??? Who is responsible for such a huge negligence ?

typicall house owners never have the boilers serviced they are vailants of a certain age and have probably never gone wrong
